April 1 Football History: April 1 Football History

April 1st, a date often synonymous with lighthearted pranks, also holds a few notable, if less earth-shattering, moments in American football history. While not a prime time for major league decisions or game action, the date has occasionally marked significant player movements and organizational shifts. For instance, early franchise relocations or the formalization of coaching hires might have been announced on this date, often after the flurry of the main offseason had begun to settle.
